I can't really tell what is the problem (imapfilter failing
to send the encrypted username or password correctly, misconfigured
server, etc.).  According to IMAP4rev1 protocol RFC 3501:

  6.2.2.  AUTHENTICATE Command

    Result:     OK - authenticate completed, now in authenticated state  
                NO - authenticate failure: unsupported authentication
                     mechanism, credentials rejected
                BAD - command unknown or arguments invalid,
                     authentication exchange cancelled

If it isn't a burden for you, could you please try checking a mailbox
using fetchmail with something like:

  $ fetchmail -v -c mail.jg555.com -u jim --auth cram-md5

... and send me the output?

Thanks
